The Grand Show Begins

The power has been out for two days, and there's still no hope of it coming back on. I'm speechless.

I typed so much on my phone today, please subscribe! ___________ On this day, Gu Xi bought his daily quota of Magic Potion from the Guild Shop, preparing to go to the Radiant Library to read. Suddenly, Li Xinghui's raven flew in front of Gu Xi.

"Ready to begin!"

Looking at the information on the note that was delivered, Gu Xi understood that the Bailian Grand Ceremony was about to begin.

He packed away the Magic Potion he was still carrying, then picked up his weapons and equipment and turned to head towards the passage leading to the Chaoyang Radiance Guild.

Seeing Gu Xi come out so simply, Li Xinghui, who was waiting in front of the passageway gate, was also somewhat surprised.

"Didn't I tell you to prepare these next few days? Why haven't you prepared anything?"

"No, it's already prepared, Brother Li. Don't worry, we won't suffer any losses this time."

Seeing Gu Xi's confident demeanor, Li Xinghui didn't say anything more.

As long as Gu Xi is fine, that's all that matters. As for the other newbies? How could those noobs possibly beat a combination of two of the Three Divine Skills?

After leaving the headquarters of the Chaoyang Radiance Guild, the carriage headed in another direction.

Gu Xi sat by the window and could clearly see many oddly shaped vehicles or modes of transportation heading in one direction.

On each of those vehicles was a player who looked quite skilled, leading seven or eight novice players.

It's quite rare to find a situation like Gu Xi's, where there's only one novice player.

"Stop looking. If it weren't for you, our guild wouldn't have sent a single person this year."

Seeing that Gu Xi was looking outside, Li Xinghui said with a smile.

"Why?"

Gu Xi asked curiously.

"Well, the president doesn't have a very good relationship with the current City Lord, so he tends to ignore the City Lord's orders whenever possible."

Li Xinghui said with some helplessness, after all, having such a guild leader had given them, the guild members, a lot of headaches.

Thinking about the Guild Master's appearance and imagination, Gu Xi had to admit that the Guild Master was no ordinary person when it came to having fun.

Just as Gu Xi was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that the carriage seemed to have slowed down.

At this moment, Li Xinghui also peeked out and asked, "Strange, what's going on?"

Gu Xi also saw the situation outside through the window; it seemed that there was a traffic jam on the road not far ahead.

Several players were arguing loudly at the intersection.

Gu Xi looked in the direction the crowd was watching and found that the vehicles blocking the way all had their respective guild logos on them.

"The Corpse Bone Fish Dragon, the Ghost Walk Spear, and the Steel Ghost Claw —these are the three major guilds of Bailian City. Why are they arguing on the road?"

"Should we go take a look?" Li Xinghui asked casually, seeing Gu Xi's curious expression.

"May I?"

Gu Xi immediately became excited.

"Of course we can. We're almost there. Going over to take a look won't waste much time."

Li Xinghui was also very curious; he wanted to know what the three major guilds were arguing about.

At this moment, the Captain leading the three major guild teams looked quite grim.

One of the necromancer players, draped in white dragon bones, said angrily, "I don't care, this was caused by Steel Ghost Claw, and you guys are responsible for turning the tables on them."

"..." The person in charge of the team on the Steel Ghost Claw side was one of their Vice Guild Master. His face was a little pale. He also understood that his plan this time had offended some people.

But he didn't actually regret it; he was just a little annoyed that luck hadn't been on his side this time.

He never expected that simply adjusting the rules of the Grand Ceremony would cause so much trouble.

However, it's impossible for the other two guilds to take on this responsibility themselves.

"I just wanted to give the children in the city a fairer opportunity to challenge themselves. I didn't expect that Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City would jump out at this time."

This is clearly our Bailian Grand Ceremony of Bailian City, what does it have to do with them?

"It has nothing to do with them, but they said directly that Bailian Lake is upstream and downstream of them. They insist on joining. What can you do to refuse them?"

Besides, it's not a matter of refusing or not, but because of your ridiculous suggestion, you've ruined the biggest advantage of the kids in this This City.

He brought fewer than 50 soldiers, all provided by the Bailian City government.

A necromancer who can't even train the undead themselves—what kind of necromancer is that? Have you really ignored all the hard work those children have put in these past few days?

The Vice Guild Master of Steel Ghost Claw was somewhat embarrassed after being bombarded with insults by players of the same level.

He wanted to explain further, but no one was willing to listen to him.

If it weren't for the fact that other guilds' teams from nearby were also arriving, they might have continued arguing there.

While Gu Xi was watching the excitement, Li Xinghui had already found out some of the details.

"What happened?"

"Don't even mention it. I just found out that the Vice Guild Master of Steel Ghost Claw secretly pushed for changes to the rules of the Bailian Grand Ceremony so that his son could get some benefits."

Each player participating in the Bailian Grand Ceremony can only bring 45 undead provided by Bailian City at the start of the game.

This situation seems fair and just on the surface, but when a real problem arises, he's at a loss.

For some reason, both Autumn Wind City upstream and Cold Leaf City downstream want to participate in the Bailian Grand Ceremony this time.

They argued that Bailian Lake was also closely related to them, and that they should participate in the Bailian Grand Ceremony.

You should know the situation in the two cities upstream and downstream, right?

"I know, strange things are happening in Autumn Wind City, and the body has been altered in Cold Leaf City."

Gu Xi was well aware of the situation in the nearby cities. It could be said that none of the cities built around Bailian Lake had a direct frontal view.

Autumn Wind City, upstream, is similar to Bailian City in that it is shrouded in Yin Energy. However, they produce fewer necromancers and Death Knight. They operate on a bizarre system and play by the rules.

The primary professions are called Order Mage and Chaos Warrior.

Order Mage can use rules to summon the strange powers they have tamed to kill enemies, while Chaos Warrior use the power of chaos to kill any strange things that appear before them.

The participants in this grand ceremony are mainly Order Mage. However, unlike the necromancers who are subject to restrictions, the Order Mage of Autumn Wind City have no such restrictions. They can bring as many of the supernatural items they acquired in the game after graduation.

Unlike Bailian City, it is not subject to artificial restrictions.

On the other hand, Cold Leaf City follows the path of demons and Demon Warlock.

Killing and sacrifice are their main gameplay.

This time, they were also unaffected by the city guild, and they took all the benefits they received after graduation with them.

It can be said that their appearance caught the Vice Guild Master of Steel Ghost Claw completely off guard.
